Camp Damascus

I've never read any of Mr. Tingle's other books, so I came into this blind other than knowing it was about a conversion therapy camp. The first third started off strong, but it kinda flew off the rails after that. The prose is quite good, but the overall plotting and pace is all over the place. There's really only any character development to the main character (and kinda for one side character), but most of it happens between the many timeskips in the book. It also stops being a horror book after the first third except for the last 50 pages or so. 

I dunno, it was a good book, and I don't regret reading it, but the hype around it led me to expect something more. I also agree with someone here who said it felt more like a YA novel than anything else.
